I love the Phish from Vermont and I pastor a Lutheran parish in Queens.

They filled out the permit for between 500 and 999 people … they could have put up to 10K

Knicks players have constantly preached about concentrating only on the game, about avoiding distractions.

Since the finals began, their owner has messed w their routine by inviting the president, bickered publicly w local government and now said they’re gonna win the finals.

In the LCMS we often raise charges of breaking the 8th Commandment to protect the powerful. Which, fine, even the powerful shouldn’t have a false witness born against them. At the same time the commandment would have us at least as often use it to protect the vulnerable among us.

@StChad_1517 I wish they were larger

@theo_d @bschultzy @EggerDC Yes, my favorite phrase from that crowd. Unreal.

Sources say Wemby has a big day planned in NYC, shoving people out of line for cronuts, yanking people out of line at the Rafael show at the Met, pushing people out of line at Salt Hank's, wrenching people out of line at Kith, etc etc

@bschultzy @EggerDC No, see, if I give a prayer representing my people after a national tragedy *that is* syncretism; if I participate in a system that promotes falsehoods as a way of life *that’s not* syncretism. Get it?

The Mets are not a true expansion team like the Nets (and Jets), they inherited a lot of fans of the Dodgers and Giants.

Why do Brooklyn/Queens hipster types love the Mets but hate the Nets?

The biggest lesson from the Spencer Pratt ordeal that everyone needs to remember—Democrats and Republicans, progressives and conservatives—is that there is only one Donald Trump.

[Tommy Beer @TommyBeer]

The spirit, energy and vitality of NYC has developed into a main character during the Knicks' storybook run.

Fans have brought it to every road game. Atlanta, then Philadelphia and Cleveland, and finally to San Antonio.

Yet, the area in/around MSG has been the visceral epicenter of that enthusiasm, the primary power source, the beating heart of this magical playoff run.

Which is why it's so frustrating that, on the night die-hard Knicks fans have waited decades for, that space will be locked down and stripped of the very energy that made it special in the first place… all to accommodate one man.

[Jonah Goldberg @JonahDispatch]

Maybe because he literally just put an entirely unqualified political hatchet man in charge of the DNI — while we’re at war — and the only reason he could give was that he would look into the “stolen” election bullshit? He’s making hugely important decisions based on a lie. That seems worth paying attention to. He also tried to set up a compensation fund for people who, inspired by his promulgation of that lie, laid siege to the Capitol. Oh and the only legislation he cares about is all wrapped up in his delusions about how elections are stolen. I can keep coming up with reasons. But the fact that the president still thinks his lie should drive policy and personnel (several J6ers work in the administration) that makes it relevant, imho.

One idea I really enjoy is that Democrats have an unbeatable vote rigging operation, but instead of just using it all the time, they sadistically employ it only after briefly giving Republicans hope

[Howie Rose @HowieRose]

I don’t know where this Mets season is going, but I’m sure glad it’s going there with Benge and Ewing.

[matthew staneck @MattStaneck]

@jayaygum What a guy! We love him!

[matthew staneck @MattStaneck]

Dolan’s going to raise a banner, isn’t he?

[nicole ❤️‍🔥 @nicolesversi0n]

are you guys going to n1 or n2 for Taylor’s wedding at Madison Square Garden?

[Elmo @elmo]

KNICKS that last message! Elmo didn’t mean to SPUR you on!

@bschultzy @TylerLeeConway Making the case

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

I'm pleased to invite @Wemby to our second Commission on Government Efficiency hearing on Wednesday June 10th 5-8pm, where we'll be asking the public for their thoughts on how government can run better. Would love to have you there for the whole time!

[matthew staneck @MattStaneck]

@manofsteeele I definitely feel like a middle manager of sorts
